ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

Make a unique mask just in time for Halloween! In this workshop you will be creating a paper headband mask. Using this as a foundation, you can create any type of human, animal, or fantasy mask, to be completed at home.

 

Glenn will show examples of his fascinating works, and explain his process. Participants will each make a simple headband mask and begin to build it out with paper mache. They will leave with a mask base, and an understanding of how to complete their creation with additional paper mache, paint, fabric, or any number of exciting options!​

- 20 one-inch strips of poster paper, 18" - 22"
